Instructions:
Note:  Wet flies are a growing group of flies in my box.  I have started to tie and to fish them, poorly at this point, but there is always hope.

The cow dung was my the first effort in that vein.  It is an old pattern.  The cow dung of course represents cattle flies, and will be a choice to try where flies are found, especially cattle flies.  At this point I have only tied a few classic wets, although I have tied quite a few of Sylvester Nemes "Partridge and..." type soft hackles, and hope to add a lot more to the box.

The Alder is also on my list to tie and fish.  There are alders on many streams in Colorado and New Mexico where we fish, and so the Alder, which is a fly tiers
representation of the alder fly, may turn out to be a good choice.
